Tracy is back with us today sharing a colorful, photo-focused pocket page spread that she accented with tags from the April exclusive kit! We just love her clean, simple style of photography, and how well her photos work with ES exclusives! Let’s see how she did it!
Hey everyone! Tracy here again! I hope you enjoyed checking out my last project using the Elle’s Studio Little Moments collection! Today I’m excited to be showing you a spread out of my 2016 pocket page album.
This year I’m using a 6” x 12” sized format and so far I’m loving it! For this spread I used tags from the April exclusive kit! I love how colorful this kit is and even though my photos were from the end of February/start of March, the bright colours still worked! Just like my traditional layout from earlier this month, my pocket page album is pretty full of pictures of me and my dog, Sophie. What I love about using this format to document is that I can include all of the big and little moments of everyday life.
My spreads always come together the same way: photos first, then embellishments and journal/filler tags. As you can see, I insert all of the photos into the pockets and spread all of my supplies out on my desk. It’s messy, yes, but this way I can see what pieces will work best with the photos I have.
I took the bottom right picture and used that to anchor all of the colors of the spread. Because I’m doing a smaller format this year, I usually keep filler/journal cards to a minimum and then use embellishments right on top of the pictures. By giving them a bit of dimension, I feel that this really helps to make the pictures pop! I really loved the wood veneer labels and layered one on top of a die cut from the April kit.
I really hope you guys enjoyed taking a peek into my album! And I want to thank Elle’s Studio for inviting me to be a guest designer this month! Hope you all have a great day!
My name is Tracy! I live in Vancouver, BC with my adorable little pup, Sophie. During the day I work as an administrative assistant, but by night, I’m a crafter. I’ve been scrapbooking for the last four years and I really enjoy it. When I’m not crafting, I’m probably drinking coffee and listening to music (or binge watching How I Met Your Mother on Netflix). My two favourite places in the world are New York City and Disneyland. I started the Single Girl’s Scrapbook to show that even if you aren’t married or don’t have kids, you can document your life. All moments are special ones!
